In this activity, learners build and play three math games. In the first game, called "Switcheroo," learners place marbles in holes 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.

In this activity (on pages 16-21), learners get a sense of geological time by understanding how big a million is.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish) is a full inquiry investigation into environmental adaptation.

This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of

In this activity, learners build their own construction cranes using tongue depressors and pushpins.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners construct three math puzzles out of simple materials like wood, string, and Styrofoam.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.

Learners will follow a specific process to make their own paper using scrap paper, newspaper, or junk mail.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

This activity (on pages 13-18) has learners build a model tree and then figure out how to make their tree stand up by itself.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).

In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.

In this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques.

Learners create an electrical-circuit maze out of wire, then try to pass a paperclip through the maze without touching the wire.

In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.

In this activity, learners work in groups to match craft sticks that represent chromosomes. Learners must define critical attributes of their chromosomes as they look for matching chromosomes.
